Indeed sprint. I find it funny that these days we are so 'enlightened' and throw off religious teachings, adopt our own individual moral codes that are entirely self serving, worship the dollar and are driven by consumerism.

And then we wonder why society is crumbling.

Not in my experience. I find people under 30 to be a waste of space. Most people over 30 are fine though...

It might be an age thing though, you know, age and maturity and what not.

Religion is not extreme per se.  That would indicate a large variation from the norm.

Religion is not really very rational, and relies on faith, the antithesis of reason.

Religion has played a role in the past, but I think the benefits it provides are outweighed by the detrimental effects it has

I'm under 30. There are alright people under 30, but say out of 200 people you know under 30, there will be 5-10 you like who aren't in to a particular scene or image and act naturally. That is for me anyway, everyone is different.
